Panama's Noriega is extradited from US to France
This wasn't what I had expected to see on the BBC "Americas" home page....
Quote:
The former Panamanian leader, Manuel Noriega, has been extradited to France by the United States after spending more than 20 years in a prison there.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed a "surrender warrant" after all judicial challenges were resolved.
French officials later confirmed he was on board an Air France flight to Paris.
A court in France convicted Noriega in his absence in 1999 for laundering money through French banks, though it says he will be granted a new trial.
The 76-year-old had wanted to be sent back to Panama after finishing his 17-year jail sentence in 2007.
But in February the US Supreme Court rejected his final appeal against extradition to France.

well at least we don't have to return to Panama to get him again... 
At least in France, they have some good wine. 
After seeing the "prison" that he was staying in, it was more like a condo that you would rent for a weekend stay at a health spa.

Guard: "Manuel...rencontrez votre nouvelle cellule-mate, Maurice."
Noriega: "Con mucho gusto!"
Maurice: "Comprenez-vous, 'Penchez-vous?'"
And so it goes...

I didn't realize Maurice was the French equivalent to Bubba.
